I've been recieving a low virtual memory message sometimes when I try to run The Sims2 PC game. It doesn't happen every time, when it does the game continues to run. Also, my mouse has been freezing for over 3 weeks now, and I have to take out the plug and reconnect it, in order for it to work. I updated my mouse in device manager, and it didn't work. It usually happens like every 15 minutes. Also my computer has been running slower lately. I recently used geekstogo to remove some malware on my pc. Is this because of my low virtual memory?

Sorry, I'm just now getting back. I haven't recieved the message lately. I thought that maybe I just needed more RAM so I installed a 1GB stick. I now have 1.25GB of RAM. I did this yesterday, and my mouse has yet to freeze, but my computer continues to run slowly. Also I only run one program at a time, because of how slow my computer has been running.

It has now been three days since I installed more RAM and my mouse has started to freeze again.

1. In the mouse properties program, under the hardware tab click on properties. There you can increase the :Sample Rate and :Input Buffer Length. This solve problem on Windows XP.

2. It sounds like a bad mouse port. Try using a serial mouse instead.

i think this may be a malware issue, because since adding more RAM my mouse only freezes when my system slows and my programs fail to load. I don't think its a memory problem anymore, but a system problem. thank you
